Who We Are
At Raise the Future, we believe every young person goes through life knowing they have a caring adult by their side.

Description
Unite America seeks a full-time Sr. Communications Director to lead our communications team and advance our mission to unite, scale, and grow the movement to put voters first.
OUR ORGANIZATION
Unite America is a coalition of Democrats, Republicans, and independents that aims to foster a representative and functional government committed to solving our major challenges. We invest in candidates, campaigns, and organizations to advance nonpartisan electoral reforms that improve governing incentives and put voters first.
Founded in 2014, Unite America and its 20-person team has grown to be a leader in the democracy reform movement--supporting, coordinating and executing to advance policy and elect pro-reform candidates. The Unite America Fund launched in 2019 and has since mobilized millions of dollars from dozens of philanthropists to reform campaigns and candidates across the country.
Over the last three years, the Unite America Fund has been the driving force behind passing and implementing Ranked Choice Voting in NYC, the largest expansion of RCV in history; defeating the most extremist member of Congress in their primary election in 2020; adopting a first of it's kind final-four voting system in Alaska to address the “ primary problem ;” winning an anti-gerrymandering campaign in Virginia; and electing state lawmakers across the country who have formed cross-partisan legislative caucuses already advancing groundbreaking electoral reforms. We are focused on dramatically scaling our impact in the years to come.
At Unite America, we are working to build a more representative and functional government that puts voters first and reflects the diversity of our country. An inclusive democracy where leaders embrace problem solving over fueling divisiveness. Likewise, organizationally, we have a vision of building a team that reflects diverse identities, experiences and perspectives; a culture of working across differences toward common goals; and a workplace where everyone feels included, respected and heard. To that end, Unite America is proud to have made diversifying our team, ensuring more equitable opportunity, and fostering a culture of belonging a priority. Our organizational values reinforce this commitment as we work to model the leadership we seek, solve problems together, and take care of one another, to name a few.
THE ROLE
This is an exciting opportunity for a communications pro who is ready to lead collaborative and innovative work alongside a talented team of political reformers. A committed and high-performing Sr. Communications Director will have the unique opportunity to spearhead the expansion of Unite America’s media relations work, shape national narrative around democracy reform, and positively influence the team culture of the organization.
The Sr. Communications Director will play a vital role in shaping a bold vision to protect and promote Unite America’s mission and strategic plan. The right candidate will drive initiatives for communications strategy and media advocacy, working closely with leaders in other departments and partner organizations to educate the public on the aims and progress of the democracy reform movement. The role requires a strategic thinker with skill in applying communications tactics to reach organizational goals, while ensuring impactful content development across multiple platforms. The Sr. Communications Director will develop and achieve short and long-term goals across organizational priorities and have a meticulous approach to conceiving and executing plans of action.
The Sr. Communications Director will report to the Managing Director. The position is based in Denver, CO. This is a full-time role with full benefits.
RESPONSIBILITIES
DRIVE COMMUNICATIONS STRATEGY & IMPLEMENTATION
Identify specific communications goals for Unite America that are ambitious and achievable, and that both deepen public understanding/awareness about critical issues and promote Unite America’s brand and mission; develop plans and strategies to reach goals, and measure progress; determine and execute appropriate communications tactics to disseminate Unite America news, promote programmatic priorities, publicize events and broaden Unite America’s audiences.
Oversee all aspects of media relations and Unite America staff engaged in it, including writing and disseminating press releases and advisories, pitching stories to targeted reporters, fielding media requests, managing a media database, drafting talking points, making statements, arranging interviews with Unite America spokespersons, and coaching spokespersons. Focus on the following three priorities:
Unite America brand - Define and promote our brand as an innovative, leading, aggressively nonpartisan organization among core audiences including philanthropists, journalists, and elected officials.
Movement narrative - Engage with partners and grantees to shape strategy and support specific projects to build a national narrative and elevate public awareness and support for our priority electoral reform issues, including nonpartisan primaries, ranked choice voting, anti-gerrymandering, and vote at home policies.

Build and maintain trusted relationships with members of the media and political influencers to advance the organization's strategies.

Collaborate and build relationships with key partners, stakeholders, elected officials and campaigns as needed.
Provide high-level strategic communications thinking and advice to the organization and team members.

Description
Unite America seeks a full-time Sr. Communications Director to lead our communications team and advance our mission to unite, scale, and grow the movement to put voters first.
OUR ORGANIZATION
Unite America is a coalition of Democrats, Republicans, and independents that aims to foster a representative and functional government committed to solving our major challenges. We invest in candidates, campaigns, and organizations to advance nonpartisan electoral reforms that improve governing incentives and put voters first.
Founded in 2014, Unite America and its 20-person team has grown to be a leader in the democracy reform movement--supporting, coordinating and executing to advance policy and elect pro-reform candidates. The Unite America Fund launched in 2019 and has since mobilized millions of dollars from dozens of philanthropists to reform campaigns and candidates across the country.
Over the last three years, the Unite America Fund has been the driving force behind passing and implementing Ranked Choice Voting in NYC, the largest expansion of RCV in history; defeating the most extremist member of Congress in their primary election in 2020; adopting a first of it's kind final-four voting system in Alaska to address the “ primary problem ;” winning an anti-gerrymandering campaign in Virginia; and electing state lawmakers across the country who have formed cross-partisan legislative caucuses already advancing groundbreaking electoral reforms. We are focused on dramatically scaling our impact in the years to come.
At Unite America, we are working to build a more representative and functional government that puts voters first and reflects the diversity of our country. An inclusive democracy where leaders embrace problem solving over fueling divisiveness. Likewise, organizationally, we have a vision of building a team that reflects diverse identities, experiences and perspectives; a culture of working across differences toward common goals; and a workplace where everyone feels included, respected and heard. To that end, Unite America is proud to have made diversifying our team, ensuring more equitable opportunity, and fostering a culture of belonging a priority. Our organizational values reinforce this commitment as we work to model the leadership we seek, solve problems together, and take care of one another, to name a few.
THE ROLE
This is an exciting opportunity for a communications pro who is ready to lead collaborative and innovative work alongside a talented team of political reformers. A committed and high-performing Sr. Communications Director will have the unique opportunity to spearhead the expansion of Unite America’s media relations work, shape national narrative around democracy reform, and positively influence the team culture of the organization.
The Sr. Communications Director will play a vital role in shaping a bold vision to protect and promote Unite America’s mission and strategic plan. The right candidate will drive initiatives for communications strategy and media advocacy, working closely with leaders in other departments and partner organizations to educate the public on the aims and progress of the democracy reform movement. The role requires a strategic thinker with skill in applying communications tactics to reach organizational goals, while ensuring impactful content development across multiple platforms. The Sr. Communications Director will develop and achieve short and long-term goals across organizational priorities and have a meticulous approach to conceiving and executing plans of action.
The Sr. Communications Director will report to the Managing Director. The position is based in Denver, CO. This is a full-time role with full benefits.

A LITTLE ABOUT US Evolving since 1951, The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is a global conservation organization dedicated to conserving the lands and waters on which all life depends.

Working in over 80 countries and territories, and across all 50 states, we are tackling climate change, conserving lands, and protecting waters and oceans at an unprecedented scale. Our vision is a world where the diversity of life thrives, and people are moved to care for nature--both for its own sake and for the ways it enriches our everyday lives.
While our vision is global, our commitment is local; we build solutions together with communities, governments and businesses on the issues unfolding right in their backyards. At the heart of this work are relationships, and they are guided by respect for all people, honor for communities and culture, and an unwavering commitment to diversity.
